The sixth Washington DC Industrial Organization conference will be held on Friday May 17, 2019 in Washington, DC in the UMD MA Suite, Ground Floor, 1400 16th Street. This year's conference is sponsored by Compass Lexecon and the University of Maryland Department of Economics. The conference schedule can be found n the conference website. http://econweb.umd.edu/~sweeting/dc_io_conference2019.html

This conference is intended to bring together DC-area IO economists in the private sector as well as government and universities; to provide a forum for researchers to present their on-going work to a broad audience; and, to spread awareness of current IO-related policy issues. Last year's conference attracted more than 100 people, and we hope to keep the conference growing in future years.
